Hi

I'm looking to upgrade to a larger, faster and basicly more satisfing boat.
I have been playing around with a century 750 for many months and I need a more realistic boat to sail while i'm not sailing my full size one.

Any suggestions?

Oh and i'm not to fond of building boats, something RTR or close to it would be nice.

Any help would be great.

Greetings.
Generally speaking, the larger the boat, the more realistic it sails (relative to a real boat). Also, more 'satisfying' is probably a boat with higher quality parts that can be sailed in a variety of winds. Which boat you should get depends on your budget. I see that you are in Australia, and I am not entirely sure what's available there, but I can give you some options that should be available. These are all RTR or close to it.

RC Laser -- There's already an active class association in Australia for these boats.

The Laser isn't the cheapest option ($450 US), but it requires no building. It's also supposed to sail very well. This is a larger boat--42" long.

Megatech Nirvana -- I don't know if you have these in Australia, but you might be able to order one from the US. They are designed by the same company that designed the RC Laser. It's almost ready to run, but is smaller than the Laser at 32" long. Here's a link to the US website... like I said, they might be able to ship one to you.

There are other boats that I'm sure others will recommend. The Kyosho Seawind is another, but it takes more building than either of the previous two that I mentioned. I wish you the very best of luck!

I have a Sanibel 36-600 RTR Sailboat, It looks and sails good.
If You want to race you should see what the local club in your area sailing and buy one in there class.
